Just keep spinning...
What? AMG? Have you lost your freaking mind?
Yes, yes, I do believe I have!
Because not only did I learn how to spin at the Kid n Ewe for my birthday (Nov, 9 - make a note!), I just got my very own custom painted spindle from Spinsanity!
Feast your eyes:
Here, look some more:
I am in total lurve with my new spindle.
And, luckily enough, I have a buttload of roving to use on it!
As I mentioned, I was at Kid n Ewe for my birthday (thank you, dear sweet husband, for indulging a whim....) and after falling HARD for some Brooks Farm Acero for an as-yet unplanned shawl (I got 2...)
I signed up for a 2 hour Beginning Spindling class. And, marvel of marvels, 2 hours later, I totally understood the concept. I wasn't able to execute it all that well, but I sure as hell knew how it was supposed to work and I even had very brief moments when it did work. Of course, at one point, I was over heard to yell (yeah, overheard by a LOT of people) to my spindle and it's newly detatched roving that "YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!!!"
At which point they - spindle and roving - simply laughed maniacally and said "PROVE IT!"
Which I eventually did:
Now, these are just singles. I have yet to ply a damn thing. It took a while for me to get the courage up to even take it off the spindle & put it on the swift and even longer after that to wind it off the swift.
Aren't the colors pretty? I bought the first braid at Kid n Ewe from Lone Start Arts and then, when I realized how much I truly loved it, I bought another braid from her store in the same colorway.
I am soooooooo sunk.

I'm seriously impressed--your yarn is absolutely lovely!
I just found your blog. I love how your yarn turned out! I'm thinking about starting a customer gallery and if I do I want you in it!
